Overall, not a bad week on the 101 front. Not perfect, mind you, but not bad.

I was supposed to:- get a move on for #55, wear a sweater I've knitted to Christmas 2008. I will knit at least ten rows of the sweater this week.- will try one pullup with no assist (#61) to see if I can do it. The trick is to try this when nobody's looking in my direction, since I suspect I'll be able to lift myself about one inch and then hang there looking sad. :)- will read another book by an author new to me.- will volunteer another hour.- will get my freerice total to 15,000.- take private item #101 to 5/52.

I actually:- knit 3 rows. But I also finished crocheting my summer purse, so that's good too. But the sweater needs to be top priority craft-wise for a while. I'm not holding the knitting needles so tightly any more - I don't get the wicked hand cramps - so I should be able to do ten rows this week.- did NOT try the unassisted pullup. A) there was never a time when nobody was looking B) I feel enough of a strain doing it when I'm only lifting 70 pounds. As I weigh a good bit more than that, I don't think I can do the full lift. SO, I will just keep doing what I'm doing, and increase the weight when I can, and when I'm at 75% of my own weight I'll try one unassisted and see what happens.- didn't read a book! No excuses, I just didn't. I will do one this week for sure.- did volunteer the hour.- reached 20,000 on freerice. - did private item #101.

In addition:- I donated 16 items to charity after cleaning out and rebuilding my writing room and the dining room (task #26). I'm now up to 19.

For this coming week, I will:- knit ten rows- combined, I will list 101 things: about me (task #2), that make me happy (#4), and that I like about myself (#5). I may list some of them on the blog, but not necessarily all. You'll have to trust me that I hit the number. :)- volunteer another hour- read one novel by an author new to me- reach 30,000 on freerice- do private item #101- use my Palm food tracker and exercise tracker religiously for the entire week. See if the weight I lose matches what the thing says I should lose. (item #65)

Sounds like a good week. In other topics, I will also:- do ten different brainstorming exercises to help me figure out where Raoul is going- assemble the rough draft of a planning checklist to make sure my novel plans are well defined- declutter the bookshelves and donate anything unneeded to charity and/or BookCrossing- eat two fruits and one yogurt daily

I did try this one. It's a great site too, although in Firefox (my browser of choice) every time I answer a question the next question appears in a different tab, which means a lot of extra clicks to get where I need to be.

I'm sticking with freerice, but if anyone's looking for a site, AIDtoCHILDREN.com is another good one!

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my blog. I've done my best to make it easy for you to find information about me and my books but if you can't find what you're looking for please let me know!

Please also let me know what you think of my books. I cherish reader feedback. I didn't realize before I began writing how much a simple "I loved your book" email really means, but now I collect and reread them. (You can tell me if you don't like the books too, but I might not reread that one. :)
